Our Forensic Clinical Psychology Doctorate (ForenClinPsyD) provides comprehensive training across two distinct fields of Applied Psychology. Graduates earn dual accreditation from both the British Psychological Society (BPS) and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
This pioneering UK program enables graduates to practice professionally in both Forensic and Clinical Psychology - a first for practitioner doctorates in the country.
Upon graduation, students qualify to work as both Forensic and Clinical Psychologists through this dual certification program.
Developed in partnership with local healthcare providers, the course frequently hosts sponsored assistant psychologists. Current training sponsors include Elysium Healthcare, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Trust, and Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust. We also accept applications from self-funding candidates.
